Aren't these those kind o giveaways where you can spot a mass of bots very easily? Btw who has an interest in thx-bots? Post hunters? Creators of fake giveaways?

No calling out, better remove those links.

I don't think it was meant as calling out the creator of the GAs, but to show the fact that most of the comments on those GAs are identical.

Well, there are many people saying Thanks! in this site so yeah, they may be identical. I read the part saying ''Creators of fake giveaways?'' and I thought he meant the creator here.

This is no calling out but a disccusion and therefore we have to account for all possibilities. Also for possible fake giveaways and thx bots to make them more credible.
Those two giveaways were just the perfect example. They were almost indentical at the start. Quite a weird timing which I doubt can be real.

If I remember correctly some guy came up with a script that automatically says thanks :-(

Is it just me, or an automated "Thank you" defeats the purpose of saying "Thank you"

I think so.

And actually commenting under giveaway is useless. You can't see if they replied you etc.

And you can't tell if someone is genuinely saying thanks or just using a really sketchy script that looks like legitimate appreciation.

For those "Thanks" comment, I use this. Work like a charm.

Somehow, I read "work" as "worm".

Really? What is the purpose of doing that? It does lose any meaning this way.

If you look carefully this is not an auto-thanks script, it's one that automatically hides the "thanks" comments.

Yeah, what David said. Just that I tweaked a bit to make it also work in the forum and add lots of predefined "thanks" phrases. My SG is waaay cleaner now...

I've stopped saying thanks or anything in giveaways.

Only on this site is a "thanks" or "thank you" seen as a negative thing. I give up.

Remind me of that the next time you enter one of my giveaways.

His last win was a year ago meaning he probably infrequently visits the front page or enters public giveaways. Most of his wins are private or group giveaways too.

I only say thanks if the giveaway has less than 10 comments and if its a group or private giv. Idk that's just how I roll

I always say thanks when I enter a giveaway. I don't understand why you wouldn't, a stranger is giving you a chance to win something they bought just to be nice.
